Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on John Milton's significant contributions to political thought, this volume features two pivotal texts: "The Tenure of Kings and the Magistrates," a radical defense of regicide, and "A Defence of the People of England," which justifies the Commonwealth's cause to Europe. This edition is notable for its fully annotated versions and a new translation of the latter work. An introduction explores the ideological complexities of Milton's time, complemented by a chronology of his life, a select bibliography, and biographies of key figures mentioned.
